Cars in German Town Discovered Covered with Swastikas in Blood, Law Enforcement State
Local Police
Approximately 50 cars have been smeared with what seems to be human blood in the Germany's city of Hanau near Frankfurt, as reported by law enforcement.
Vehicles, exterior walls and mailboxes were vandalized, in some cases with Nazi symbols, they announced in a official communication.
Police report they were contacted during the night on Wednesday evening, when a resident observed that a automobile in the Lamboy neighborhood of Hanau had been covered with a reddish-hued substance.
The fluid had been applied in the pattern of a Nazi symbol, they reported.
Police then discovered multiple other smeared vehicles and residential walls in the surrounding area.
Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany under regulations outlawing the public display of Nazi symbols.
Law enforcement say initial examinations show the substance was likely human bodily fluid.
"There is still no indication as to where it came from; officials are currently not aware of any harm in relation with the event," they commented.
Local authorities stated they were trying "to resolve the mystery" and have appealed to the residents for details.
A senior political figure said the attack made him without words and had to be resolved quickly.
"This incident strikes at the core of Hanau and reopens the wounds of the extremist attack in 2020," he wrote on a platform, referring to the murder of nine victims by a shooter aiming at people of foreign heritage in 2020.
